President Trump will sign an executive order this morning that aims to end cashless bail in the nation’s capital, and will push for Congress to end the terrible policy nationwide.

The executive order won’t ban cashless bail outright in Washington, D.C., but will push law enforcement to ensure those arrested are taken into federal custody, where there is no cashless bail.

Here’s more from Axios:

President Trump plans to sign an executive order on Monday that aims to eliminate “cashless bail” for arrested suspects in Washington, D.C., Axios has learned.

It’s the latest step in the Trump-driven federal takeover of the capital city’s law enforcement, which has put thousands of federal agents and National Guard troops on the city’s streets.

Under cashless bail, a suspect doesn’t need to pay money to be released from custody before trial.

Trump previewed his support for ending cashless bail in D.C. earlier this month. When he announced his decision to federalize the D.C. police force, he called the policy a “disaster.”

A White House official said the executive order could threaten to withhold federal funding or government-backed project approvals from the D.C. if it doesn’t end its cashless-bail policy.

The executive order will ask law enforcement to “work to ensure” that arrestees are taken into federal rather than local custody, the White House aide said.

Trump administration officials argue that federal judges are more likely than D.C. judges to detain crime suspects before trial.

Under the current arrangement, those detained by federal law enforcement officials in D.C. are in federal custody. Those arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department are in local custody.

Trump wants Congress to ban cashless bail nationwide, and has criticized policies in Chicago and New York. Critics say Congress has no authority to decide how states handle bail, but that lawmakers could tie it to federal funding.
